Eye On The Pie Branding From an Investors POV
When building a business as a brand it’s important to avoid a myopic view and consider another important aspect of the business game as well— investing. After any amount of toil and hard work to create a valuable product, service or company the big game is when you go public— when money-minded people want more, they want a piece of your brand pie.

To Grow or Not to Grow There is No Question
Isn't it true that everyone has a goal? Some may dream of wealth, some of travel, some of dedicating their lives to service others, whatever the goal ... it is human nature to have something to "aim for." If you were asked, "How willing are you to take whatever steps necessary to achieve your personal and/or professional goals?" What would your answer be? Are you willing to change your perceptions, learn new things, and embrace new ideas? Are you willing to grow in order to grasp your brass ring?

WorkLife Balance & Employee Engagement
An engaged employee is likely a more productive employee. An attitude adjustment or a morph of strategy can foster worker loyalty for both small and large businesses. Addressing the concerns of your workers with regard to worklife balance is another way to create better relationships between the rank and file - and top brass. And those changes just might impact your bottom line in the end.

RAMP UP YOUR BRAND - SLEDGEHAMMERS AND SERVICE BRAND PREFERENCE
By Mike Schultz and John Doerr Swing the Hammer Imagine the strongman game at the carnival. You lift the sledgehammer over your head and swing it down onto the platform. When it strikes the target, a metal cylinder rises up and up—20 feet up the pole until it rings the bell. On its way down the pole the cylinder passes the same words it passed on the way up: strongman, tough guy, athlete, junior, and weakling. In a way, establishing a services brand follows a similar process. You swing the hammer (your marketing tactics, the marketing mix you employ, and the quality of your company's services) and the strength of your efforts determine whether or not your brand moves up the pole and makes it to the top to ring the bell. The question is, “What stages must your brand pass through in order to ring the bell?”

Making the Phone to Ring
A source of anxiety for most self-employed professionals is that the phone does not ring enough. And it rings, it may not be from potential clients and customers.

Are the only people that CALL YOU Telemarketers?
How frustrating is it when the phone rings, (RING, RING!) and you say to yourself; “great an opportunity I don’t have to chase!” Then the person on the other end of the phone opens the conversation with; “Am I speaking with the business owner?” and you realise, quickly, that it’s yet another (bloody) telemarketer! “Damn you telemarketer!” you say under your breath, as you politely tell them you’re not interested and promptly hang up.

Are Telemarketers the only people that CALL YOU?
Picture this: You are sitting at your desk going through your To Do list and suddenly the phone rings, ¡§RING, RING!¡¨ Given you know how challenging lead generation can be, you say to yourself, ¡§Great this could be an opportunity I don¡¦t have to chase!¡¨

Lesson #1: “I learned to make people love me to get my message across.”
As a boxer, Foreman was known as a mean and ruthless fighter. He fought with fury rather than grace; he stormed around the ring with rage while his opponents danced around him. He even showed up to fight Muhammad Ali with a fierce German Shepherd at his side. It was not so much a persona as his actual personality. He was unpopular both in the ring and out, and unless he was willing to make some changes, Foreman knew that nobody would want to listen to him talk, let along buy anything from him.

Positive Words Create Positive Actions
In our society today we tend to accentuate the negatives instead of the positives. One example is the “alarm clock” we use to wake ourselves up in the morning. Realistically, when we hear an alarm it generates fear or anxiety. When somebody robs a bank, an alarm is sounded; when there’s a fire, someone sounds an alarm. Perhaps waking up to an alarm helps explain the profusion of negative words we use. If you rethink the issue of your clock you will realize that it is really giving you an opportunity. When you hear it ring, you have the opportunity to get up and go. A whole day full of possibilities is available to you once you hear your “opportunity clock.” If you can’t hear it ring, that might mean you’ve gotten up and gone! That could be bad.
